Gogol sketches - Ivan Ivanovich puppet
This school project was about to design, make and perform with our puppets for sketches, based on Gogol stories and characters. The music was by Alfred Schnittke - Etudes for Gogol suite. We made 4 full house performances.
We had to design our puppets in a way, that all of them had something in common. This was based on materials and textures.
I choose Ivan Ivanovich, a writer in an office, who had an unpleasant attitude and superior thinking about himself. He acts and dresses like a dandy. It was really fun to design, make a perform with him.
As a writer, his skin is covered with old typewritten paper.
The puppet is 85 cm tall, plus his hat, which is attached with magnets to his head.
